set my spirit free....

if i die tomorrow...
don't even bother burying me,
just throw my body out to the crowes...
and let'em pick it clean,

cause thats not me...
not flesh and bone,
set my spirit free...
when my body's gone,

yeah set my spirit free...
set my spirit free,
free to roam across this land...
and see what it can see,
on it's way home,
oh it's a long way home...
it's a long way home,

yeah i'm going home,
far far away,
to a place where dreams are free to chase...
and souls are free to dream,
and we're free to be
set my spirit free,
set my spirit free,

If I die tomorrow...
don't you shed no tears for me,
well maybe go ahead and shed one or two...
hell maybe even three,

as long as you know...
I'm in a better place,
and perhaps maybe you and I...
will meet again some day,

in a place...
far far away,
to a place where dreams are free to chase...
and souls are free to dream,
and we're free to be
set my spirit free,
set my spirit free,


yeah set my spirit free...
set my spirit free,
free to roam across this land...
and see what it can see,
on it's way home,
oh it's a long way home...
it's a long way home,

and it's a better place,
far far away,
to a place where dreams are free to chase...
and souls are free to dream,
and we're free to be
set my spirit free,
set my spirit free,

if wishes were ponies, i'd be riding home...

oh lord please forgive me...
for all that I’ve done,
it's a hard life just be' ing...
a carpenter's son,

sometimes its feels I...
ride through this world alone,
ohhh- if wishes were po'nies...
i'd be riding home,

wish i was stronger...
wish i could stand,
high on that mountain...
be a better man,

wish i never stumbled...
wish i never fell,
wishes turn tears fall in buckets...
filling my pail,

that i carry on my shoulders...
as i try to fi'i'nd my way,
through this lonely dessert...
just praying for rain,

sometimes its feels I...
ride through this world alone,
ohhh- if wishes were po'nies...
i'd be riding home,

oh i know how ive hurt you...
wish i could make it right,
dont think that i have' nt...
cried myself to bed at night,

just because i keep falling...
don't mean i dont care,
but you deserve better...
and i know it aint fair,

for me to keep on asking...
for you to forgive,
the mountains of shame...
of this life I live,

how I wish I could show you…
how much I do care,
oh how much I love you...
for always being there,
wishing on a falling star...
or just wishing on air,

sometimes I just act like...
I ride through this world alone,
ohhh- if wishes were po'nies...
i'd be riding home,

Don’t think that I don’t try...
to find a better way,
keep stumbling with vices...
crushed under their weight,

many have tried to...
help burden their share,
but the weight is all i know...
it's my cross to bear,

i guess i am destined...
to ride through this world alone,
ohh if wishes were po'nies...
i'd be riding home,

they say the salt of the ocean,
it can heal all wounds,
in the end we're drawn to it,
that which time consumes,


maybe it shall take away our sins,
wash our souls clean,
or maybe im dream'ing…
a broken man's dream,

sometimes its feels I...
ride through this world alone,
ohhh- if wishes were po'nies...
i'd be riding home,

wish i was stronger...
wish i could stand,
high on that mountain...
be a better man,

wish i never stumbled...
wish i never fell,
wishes turn tears fall in buckets...
filling my pa'a'a'aaaail,

oh lord please forgive me...
for all that I’ve done,
it's a hard life just be' ing...
a carpenter's son,

sometimes its feels I...
ride through this world alone,
ohhh- if wishes were po'nies...
i'd be riding home,

momma wont you hold me one more time...

i know it's been a long time...
since i come stoppin' by,
i can get so caught up in...
this game that we call life,
chasing down some crazy dreams...
that ain't even mine,
whoo-ohhhh,
momma won't you hold me one more time,


momma won't you hold me one more time,
wrap me in those lovin' arms...
tell me it'll be alright,
im staring down this lonely road...
not sure what's on the other side,
whoo-ohhhh,
momma won't you hold me one more time,


ohhhh how i miss the way...
we used to sit and talk,
ohhhh how i wish somehow that i...
could just turn back the clock,
ohhhhhow i wish that you were still here...
sitting by my' side,
whoo-ohhhh,
momma won't you hold me one more time,


momma won't you hold me one more time,
rock me in those lovin' arms...
tell me it'll be alright,
im staring down this lonely road...
not sure what's on the other side,
whoo-ohhhh,
momma won't you hold me one more time,


this world can be so empty,
this world can be so cold,
and happiness ain't nothin',
that could ever be bought or sold,
lord if there was ever one place and time,
where this damn world felt right,
whoo-ohhhh,
momma won't you hold me one more time,


momma won't you hold me one more time,
rock me in those lovin' arms...
tell me it'll be alright,
im staring down this lonely road...
not sure what's on the other side,
whoo-ohhhh,
momma won't you hold me one more time,

just being me...

hippies dont like that… i still shoot my guns,
christians dont like what… i consider having fun,

rednecks dont like that… i won’t cut my hair,
preppies dont like the… redneck clothes that i wear,

conservatives dont like that… i dont like us dropping bombs,
liberals dont like that… i dont want government playing mom,

i can’t seem to find the right crowd… where i can fit in,
but i promise you one thing… tomorrow ill do it all over again,

cause i ain’t doing nothing… cept' for being me,
and i aint hurting no one… so sucka just let me be,
i ain’t trying to fit in… to anybody's mold,
i’m just living the good life… least that’s what I’m told,

yeah momma still loves me… just hates this bar that i’m in,
and jesus still loves me… spite my life of sin,
and the devil still tempts me… to come to his side,
but I’m not giving this soul to no one… just enjoying the ride,

cause i ain’t doing nothing… cept' for being me,
and i ain’t bothering no one… so sucka just let me be,
i ain’t trying to fit in… to anybody's mold,
and i sure have a hard time… doing what i’m told,

cause i ain’t doing nothing… cept' for being me,
and i ain’t hurting no one… so sucka just let me be,
i ain’t trying to fit in… to anybody's mold,
and if i die early…at least im not growing old,

i just want something real

am i hiding from emotions,
or just trying to feel,
in a world so damn broken,
i just want something real,

spend my days in a prison,
of a world where i just cant fit,
what they define as important,
to me it dont mean shit,

i know that i could do better,
if only i would try,
but is it really better,
to be living a lie,

so if youre looking,
ill tell you where you can find me,
out there searching for a better version,
of this fake reality,

oh where, oh who can we blame,

Prices are soaring, tempers are roaring,
oh where, oh who can we blame,
Truth in front of our eyes, which we don't want to open,
as then we have to face our shame,

freely printed money, to support all our gluntuny,
because we can't live within our means,
leads to inflation, the death of our nation,
but we would never allow such a thing,

quantitative Easing, is no less that treason,
as it robs from those who have saved,

those up on wall street, never skip a beat,
their wealth protected by greed,
while those in the trenches, lifes blood in spended,
just trying to live day to day,

tell me is it right, how can we sleep at night,
knowing that this is the game,

Truth in front of our eyes,
which we don't want to open,
as then we have to face our own shame,

sun shining, early morning,

sun shining,
early morning,
breaking through the clouds,

over yonder,
birds a chirpin',
don't you love that sound,


cool mist,
softly blowing,
off that ol' pine tree,

cold of winter,
slowly fading,
making room for spring,

taller grass,
and greener pastures,
soon they both will rise,

sun will fall,
again this evening,
making room for night,

as for now,
i'll just sit here,
soaking in the day,

feels so right,
stuck in this moment,
can't all be this way,

like...


sun shining,
early morning,
breaking through the clouds,

over yonder,
birds a chirpin',
don't you love that sound,


Cold of winter,
Slowly fading,
Making way for spring,

Something bout,
This time of year,
Just makes ya wanna sing,

about...


sun shining,
early morning,
breaking through the clouds,

over yonder,
birds a chirpin',
don't you love that sound,
